Title: Cigar Band Project
Post by: headfirst on 02/19/2021 11:11 PM
Hey fellas, just thought I'd share my latest project with my BOTLs, a little side table for the couch.  Didn't quite get the effect I was going for in the middle, should've gone more random in the colors, but I like how the scattered pattern against the straight border turned out...

Nice. Looks like a good conversation piece.

Looks great, Gary!  How did you seal the top?

Thanks!  Several coats of polyurethane with light sanding.  In retrospect I think I should've done an epoxy poured over the top, would've given me a smoother more uniform surface without the slight discoloration that the polyurethane introduces.  I don't mind the discoloration much, gives it an antique look, but not as vibrant as it could be.

Nice work!  i like the looks, agreed epoxy would have most likely been more vibrant, but lie you said, the antique look is cool too.
